Title : The First Sip of Beer and Other Tiny Pleasures - Philippe Delerm - book
Summary : It's easy to shell peas. Press your thumb against the slit of the pod and it opens, docile, offered. Some, less ripe, are more reluctant - an incision with your index fingernail then allows you to tear the green, and feel the wetness and the dense flesh, just beneath the faux-parchment skin. Then you slide the balls off with a single finger. The last one is so tiny. Sometimes you want to bite into it. It's not good, a little bitter, but fresh as the kitchen at 11 o'clock, cooking cold water, peeled vegetables - nearby, against the sink, a few bare carrots shine on a cloth, finishing drying. So we talk in small bursts, and here too the music of the words seems to come from within, peaceful, familiar. We talk about work, projects, fatigue - not psychology.

Summary :
The day Julie reappears, 20 years after her mysterious disappearance, the story she tells seems impossible...
On July 16, 1994, in the Manchester area, seventeen-year-old Julie Rouane used a date with a friend as an excuse to leave the family home... and disappeared for more than twenty years. Long after the police abandoned the investigation, her father, Raymond Rouane, continued to explore every possible avenue on his own. In vain. Julie's mother and younger sister, Selena, also tried to cope, each in their own way. Then one evening, 20 years later, a woman claiming to be Julie contacts Selena. While it was suspected that the teenager might have been abducted and murdered—a local man having confessed to several murders of women—the story Julie tells her sister is completely different, extravagant, impossible...

Title : The Optimists - Rebecca Makkai - book
Summary :
"One of the best novels of the year" The New York Times
In 1980s Chicago, in the heart of Boystown, Yale Tishman and his group of friends—artists, activists, journalists, and professors—live the free life they'd always imagined. When the AIDS epidemic hits their community, relationships change, and bonds blur and transform. Little by little, everything around Yale collapses, and all he has left is Fiona, his best friend Nico's little sister. From 1980s Chicago to modern-day Paris, Rebecca Makkai delivers a powerful epic about the power of friendship in the face of tragedy. "Rebecca Makkai displays impressive novelistic skill, which never overwhelms her emotional power, nor the subtlety of the feelings experienced by her characters." Raphaëlle Leyris, The World of Books "Overwhelming and fascinating." Gérard de Cortanze, History

Title : The Sermon on the Fall of Rome - Jerome Ferrari - book
Summary :
In a Corsican village perched far from the coast, the local bar is undergoing a profound transformation under the leadership of its new managers. To everyone's surprise, these two locals have turned their backs on promising philosophy studies on the continent to, faithful to the teachings of Leibniz, transform a modest drinking establishment into "the best of all possible worlds." But soon, hell itself invites itself to the bar, reactivating very old wounds or inviting irreversible desecration of beings subjected to paltry dreams of happiness, and victims, unwittingly, of the tragic propensity of the human soul to become corrupted. Entering, across the centuries, in resonance with the sermon by which Saint Augustine attempted, at Hippo, to console his faithful of the fragility of earthly kingdoms, Jérôme Ferrari throws, through a sumptuous and demanding writing, a merciless light on the curse which condemns men to see the worlds they build collapse and to accomplish, here below, their share of failure by ceaselessly recasting, on blood or tears, their impossible mythologies.

Title : The Farm of Madmen - Olivier Deck - book
Summary :
Doctor Colbert is not a doctor like the others: this pioneer of psychiatry, a champion of Freud's theories, does not consider mad people as sick, but rather as people who need to be listened to. His colleagues at the Strasbourg hospital do not appreciate his theories, and even less so the Nazi occupier who, since the beginning of the war, has simply been eliminating the supposedly "weak-minded." In 1943, fleeing persecution, Colbert finds refuge with some of his residents in the heart of the Landes region, in a small abandoned farm where he wants to continue practicing. Thanks to a few resistance fighters, life is organized, and the "mad farm" is transformed into a real country clinic. Until the day when Colbert, who has hidden his true identity, must flee again under threat... Through the unique story of a man who resisted Nazi barbarity, Olivier Deck takes us to the heart of a moving and courageous human adventure.

Title : Resolving to Say Goodbyes - Philippe Besson - book
Summary :
Besson revisits the epistolary novel with a rare elegance of mastery. On a universal theme (separation), he offers an invitation to travel, a testimony on the invisible violence of romantic breakups, and an ode to the writing that saves. When the man she loves leaves her for another woman, Louise decides to flee Paris. But neither the trip nor the exoticism of Cuba are enough to dispel her grief, to divert her thoughts from her lover. In order to maintain contact with him, however trivial and masochistic it may be, Louise decides to write him a series of letters, like throwing bottles into the sea. From Havana, New York, Venice, the Orient Express, and even Paris, where her exile ends, a single-voice correspondence is born, implacably honest and poignant. It combines memories of happy times, the beginnings of a breakup, the heartbreak of abandonment, and the despair of solitude. Soon, it becomes clear to Louise: the true recipient of these letters is none other than herself. Throughout this process, the possibility of healing emerges... Philippe Besson likes to impose formal constraints on himself to provide a framework for his fiction. By reappropriating the genre of the epistolary novel, he makes each letter a meditation on love, the couple, the loss of the absent one, the solitude necessary for self-reconstruction... And demonstrates that all work of mourning necessarily involves words. Besson's unique style, both dense and lyrical, is complemented by an admirable ability to embrace a feminine sensibility. With this optimistic novel, the author of A Moment of Abandonment deliberately breaks with the darkness of his last writings.

Title : The Finger Tour - Jean Anglade - book
Summary :
From the trenches to the school bench, from the rifle to the blackboard, the destiny of Jules Vendange, or the school of life. " Jean Anglade has the genius for the beautiful story. (...) It's admirable." Alexandre Vialatte To explore the life of Jules Vendange is to unfold the life of a young man from Auvergne, who, at the end of September 1913, arrived at the Teacher Training College with his first long breeches. But his training was brutally interrupted by his mobilization. Incorporated into a unit of soldiers in the Aisne, he returned from the trenches with one leg missing but a conscience added. Suffice it to say that in 1919, like his surviving comrades, he was no longer the same; no longer the desire to stand at attention in front of the director, the teacher, the officers, to obey, and to apply often absurd regulations... just the desire to obtain the sacrosanct Béhesse (Higher Certificate), which he would not obtain, following a "mutiny" of student teachers resistant to the discipline and pedagogy taught. No matter, the vocation is there...
